name vote!

[ladyfuzzums.livejournal.com]

I'm down to two possible choices for middle names.

Mason Oliver Marchbank
OR
Mason Grey Marchbank

I am partial to Mason Oliver even though the initials spell MOM (hahaaa...). But at least they don't spell GAS like my uncles...

I like them both! I like Mason Grey a little better, though. His initials would make me think of a movie studio, but I'm guessing a kid would prefer it to having the initials MOM.

Hm...as individual names, I don't care for Mason, I love Oliver, and I like Grey when used in the middle spot. As combos, Mason Grey is sooo much better than Mason Oliver, BUT when paired with the last name I think Mason Oliver Marchbank flows a bit better. I guess that means Oliver wins my vote?

I prefer the sound of Mason Grey.

[ladyfuzzums.livejournal.com]

That was actually why I was liking Mason Oliver over Mason Grey. Grey was my first choice because I really love that name, but with the last name I thought Oliver sounded better. Hrrrrrmmmmm.....

Mason Oliver, definitely. Mason Grey sounds too much like Macy Gray haha.

I like the sound of Mason Grey much better...but Macy Gray is a good point! ;) (above poster).

I don't think the initials MOM are bad, though! =)

I like Mason Oliver better than Mason Grey, but I like MGM better than MOM, lol. Either are very good choices.

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

Yurgh. Either is a very good choice. Dammit.

[sal_amanda]

Definitely Mason Oliver.

This is tough! I like them both. But I guess I like Mason Oliver a LITTLE bit more.

I like Mason Oliver

I'm leaning toward Mason Grey, I think it sounds better and it avoids the MOM initials... but then again, MGM is a little odd, too. [insert lion roar] Mason Oliver is really just as good so go with what you like most.

(Sorry. I just think Grey is so trendy of a name lately. Oliver is nice and classic and I think it balances the name Mason -- which is nice, but also kind of trendy [but not in a bad way] perfectly.)

It's a great name, btw. I really like it. And I don't think the MOM initials are that big of a deal. It could be a LOT worse.

Really? I am sort of out of the loop of what is trendy and what isn't lately though so I am sure it might be more than I thought it was. I had no idea a bunch of people were using Grey lately. I think Oliver is adorable and the SO likes it better than Grey I think, so that is likely what we will end up using. I was trying to avoid a name that was SUPER popular, but if it is sort of popular then I don't care. I don't know any Masons personally, but I do know of a couple ladies who've named their babies Mason. Picking a boys name was super hard for me, I barely liked any enough to even consider naming my child them... haha...I had a girls name picked years ago, so of course naturally I am having a boy :P

[patsfan610.livejournal.com]

both are great names, i slightly prefer Mason Grey :)

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

Mason Oliver sounds best to me. I think Mason Grey sounds too rhyme-y, if that makes any sense.
